Wow, I read the line about the periods and immediately envisioned William Shatner's acting skills. Big Grin

My worst phrase is; "We're playing for the door." Argh

Worse yet, We're playing for tips.......

Longboarding

It's been stated earlier but "my bad" is the term that makes me shudder

Turn up the Reverb!!

Zero tolerance for the Revival word lately.

Revival: like the music they made in the good old days.

My favourite present day cutting edge surf band is akin to a Buddy Holly tribute band.

I am tagged a revivalist without consent!

"Reach out"

At work someone asked me to "reach out" to someone else. What they meant was, I should phone them.

The only people who should be able to "reach out" are:

  1. Samaritans
  2. Community and Social workers
  3. The Four Tops

Reading this thread has successfully made me shudder. Here are the ones I hate the most.

-"Classically Trained"
-"Jazz Influenced"
-This (product/media) is a love-letter to (a classic style of media)

Guitar product ads can be vomit inducing but I admit I have a guilty pleasure reading them sometimes. This is an all-time "favourite" of mine:
She was watching me with casual interest. ”In fact,“ she said as she moved closer to snuggle up against my shoulder, “I heard on the radio that it was only a few degrees away from being a record low today.” I brought another string up to pitch. “Well, at least we’re not in Montana.” “Why? Could it really be that much colder in Montana?” “Their record low temperature,” I explained, “is seventy degrees below zero.” “Is that right?” she asked playfully, nuzzling against my neck. “I wonder how the people there stay warm.” By this time, I was in tune. “Let me show you.” -70°F is cold all right, but it’s not even close to being cold enough for us. In order to cryogenically treat our Blue Steel strings, the temperature has to reach –320°F (roughly the temperature of Neptune, a mere 2.8 billion miles farther from the Sun than Earth). Blue Steel; for a sound that’s out of this world.

"Going back to my blues roots."

Either you surf, or you fight.

Any conversation that starts: 'Surf music? is that like the Beach Boys?'

Every single time. . . .

whammy bar

"Warmth"; "Character"; "classic console saturation"; "vintage pump charger"; "harmonic enhancing driver" etc... when concerning audio plug-ins. It may sound nice or even if correctly modeled, it's only distortion. Bytes are neither warm or cold.

"irregardless"

Awwwww... I like that one. There's a guy here at work who absolutely hates it so we use it irregardless of the situation. Oops...

Going Forward. Right sizing. Low hanging fruit.

Any commercial concerning some new phone or app thingy plan that tries to hypnotize you into 'doing' 'creating' 'defecating' like you've been doing it all wrong up until now and your 'doing' 'creating' 'defecating' will now be the experience you never dreamed it could be because 'doing' 'creating' 'defecating' with our new phone/app/tablet thingy just made 'doing' 'creating' 'defecating' so much better. Going forward.

I hate 99% of terms/expressions (aka "meeting speak") used by corporate mid level managers. It's a poor replacement for actual managerial and leadership skill, and it absolutely wastes everyone's time.

I'm also getting fed up with the hyperbole that has hijacked most Americans' descriptive capability. As constant targets of advertisement, we've replaced our vocabulary to upsale everything. A good sandwich isn't good unless its GREAT or AMAZING or AWESOME or EPIC. To call a good sandwich simply "good" is like giving it a D+ on it's report card. To call someone "capable" or "nice" is an insult. They have to be "an all-star" and "THE NICEST PERSON EVER OMG".
